In other words, as 47% of the country has been saying for years, Trump is literally the last person in the world we want standing behind a microphone at moments like this.President Blames D.E.I. and Biden for Crash Under Trump’s Watch
President Trump’s remarks, suggesting without evidence that diversity in hiring and other Biden administration policies somehow caused the disaster, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens.

“…Mr. Trump cited no evidence, and even admitted when pressed that the investigation had only just begun.
Moments later, he blamed the pilots of the Army helicopter that appeared to fly into a passenger jet that was on final approach to Reagan National Airport, across the river from the capital.
Mr. Trump went back and forth between blaming diversity goals that he said were created by President Barack Obama and President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and then saying that an investigation was necessary.
His instant focus on diversity reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens, whether the facts fit or not.
It is something he has done before: After a terrorist attack in New Orleans a month ago, he blamed illegal immigration, even though the attacker was a U.S. citizen born in Texas. …”
If MAGAs ever have the balls to respond, and I'm guessing they will not, we'll hear a lot of "this is all Biden's fault!!!" And "what do you expect from DEI???"lawtig is doing this right.![]()
Hilarious that they’re citing disability hiring as reason for this. Do they think AA hired a blind guy to fly the plane? They really wish they could just say Black people.This is a hedge. If everyone involved is a white man, they'll still blame DEI because those white men were all under stress due to DEI created incompetence around them.
If you limit who you hire based on non-relevant job requirements, that is when you get an understaffed and unqualified FAA. Read up on Griggs v. Duke Power.DEI aside, he's not wrong. If the FAA is under staffed or has had difficulty getting qualified workers, it's possible that it has resulted in a tragedy.
1. If I am a troll, then the word has no meaning. I'm literally the opposite of a troll.That you are telling folks that I have anger issues is incredibly ironic. Between the two us, only you have broken your hand punching a wall, after posting/reading this site. Whether knowingly or not, you are one of the bigger trolls on this site. Your needlessly long posts asserting things as facts, only to go back and shift the goal posts when folks point out the fallacies in your comments, so as to try to save face, are only topped by your subsequent "woe is me" threads where you try to play the victim of verbal abuse.
If folks care enough, they can read the thread where I, and others, were pointing out issues with the basketball team, HD, and staff, just like they can go read my response to you regarding your comments about Belichick. They will not see someone with anger issues. They can, also, find the numerous threads that you derail and create, forming their opinion of you. I have already. You are a troll.
(And yes, I do recognize the bait you've put down in your posts to me and Snoop. And, that is why, this will be my last response to you on this topic. I hope you enjoy your follow-up troll attempts.)
I have no idea if there are non-relevant job requirements. I've never determined requirements for an FAA position.If you limit who you hire based on non-relevant job requirements, that is when you get an understaffed and unqualified FAA. Read up on Griggs v. Duke Power.
Neither has Donald Trump. Or JD Vance. They just like to punch down.I have no idea if there are non-relevant job requirements. I've never determined requirements for an FAA position.
Being short handed or hiring under qualified people, to avoid being short handed, isn't punching down.Neither has Donald Trump. Or JD Vance. They just like to punch down.
I thought I just read that the FAA hired more air traffic controllers in 2024 than in any other year in history.DEI aside, he's not wrong. If the FAA is under staffed or has had difficulty getting qualified workers, it's possible that it has resulted in a tragedy.
Saying that fully qualified people with disabilities caused the accident is very much punching down.Being short handed or hiring under qualified people to avoid being short handed, isn't punching down.
